Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 6, 2026

This page describes the privacy-relevant behavior of the HEN Cheats Collection website. HENCC is an independent project created, curated and maintained by TeeKay87 and does not provide user accounts on this website.

Local browser storage

HENCC uses the browser's LocalStorage for features that are intended to remain available between visits on the same browser profile.

Favorites

The Favorites feature stores a list of favorited game IDs locally in your browser under the HENCC website origin. This information is used to show your Favorites view and heart state. It is not synchronized to an HENCC account or server-side profile.

Downloaded markers

When the website initiates a cheat-file download, it stores a local marker for that source file so the interface can display that it has previously been downloaded from that browser profile. This marker is local UI state; it is not a record that the file was successfully used.

Advertising choice

HENCC stores your advertising choice under the website origin so it can remember whether Adsterra advertising may be loaded in this browser profile. The stored value records only whether advertising was allowed or declined. You can reopen the choice at any time with Ad choices in the footer.

You can remove HENCC local state using your browser's site-data/storage controls. Clearing browser storage can reset Favorites, Downloaded markers and the saved advertising choice.

Vercel hosting and analytics

The website is hosted on Vercel. The application includes Vercel Web Analytics, which can process technical request and usage information according to Vercel's own service behavior and privacy terms.

HENCC uses this integration to understand website traffic rather than to create user accounts or personalized HENCC profiles. The advertising choice described below controls Adsterra ad loading; it does not disable the separate Vercel Web Analytics integration.

Adsterra advertising

HENCC uses Adsterra as a third-party advertising provider. Adsterra advertising code is not embedded globally in the base HTML. It is loaded only in configured interactive catalog or Game Details placements after the visitor has selected Allow advertising.

When Adsterra advertising is allowed and loaded, the visitor's browser communicates with Adsterra-controlled advertising infrastructure and advertising partners used to deliver, measure and protect advertisements. Depending on the advertisement, provider and applicable configuration, third-party advertising technologies can process ordinary request information and can use technologies such as cookies, local storage, pixels or similar identifiers for advertising, measurement, fraud prevention and related purposes.

HENCC does not use its Favorites or Downloaded LocalStorage values to personalize Adsterra advertising, and HENCC does not provide those local feature values to Adsterra through the website's ad integration.

Advertising choices

When no saved advertising choice exists, HENCC displays an advertising-choice panel before any Adsterra ad code is loaded.

• Allow advertising stores an accepted choice and permits the configured Adsterra catalog and Game Details placements to load.
• Continue without ads stores a declined choice and keeps Adsterra advertising code unloaded.
• Ad choices in the footer reopens the panel so the choice can be changed later.

If advertising is declined, the normal HENCC catalog and download functionality remains available without Adsterra advertisements.

External images and resources

Game cover images can be loaded from external image hosts referenced by HENCC cover metadata. Loading an external image can cause the visitor's browser to make a request directly to that host, which can expose ordinary request information such as IP address, user agent and referrer behavior according to the browser and host.

The site can also link to external services such as GitHub. Following an external link leaves HENCC and makes the destination service's own privacy policy applicable.

Cheat-file downloads

Cheat-file download links are built from the source path stored by HENCC and point to the HEN Cheats Collection repository/download host. When you download a file, your browser communicates with that external hosting service to retrieve it.

HENCC's local Downloaded marker does not contain the contents of the downloaded file and is not uploaded as an HENCC user history.

Report Issue links

The Report Issue action opens GitHub with the repository's cheat_issue.yml Issue Form selected and its Cheat information field pre-filled for the selected game/version/source. No issue is submitted merely by opening the link. If you choose to submit the issue, the information you submit is handled by GitHub and becomes subject to GitHub's account/privacy behavior and the visibility of the repository's issue tracker.

Review the issue text before submitting it and avoid including personal information that is not necessary to describe the collection problem.

No HENCC user accounts

The website does not currently provide HENCC login accounts, profiles, private messaging or cloud synchronization for Favorites, Downloaded state or advertising choices. The site features documented above operate either from public collection data, local browser storage or third-party services.

Children and sensitive personal information

HENCC is not designed to request sensitive personal information from visitors. Do not include passwords, private account credentials, precise private addresses or other sensitive personal information in public GitHub issue reports.

Changes to this policy

This policy should be updated when the website's actual storage, analytics, advertising, consent or third-party integrations change. The implementation is the source of truth: the policy is intended to describe what the site actually does, not to list hypothetical tracking technologies.
